You’re not broken — your nervous system is overwhelmed

You might feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overwhelm, or self-doubt, especially in your relationships, with your self-esteem, or how you experience your body.

You might notice it in small, familiar ways:

  • Replaying something you said hours later

  • Comparing your body without even meaning to

  • Feeling slightly anxious, even when nothing’s wrong

My work helps you move beyond understanding into deeper healing. Through somatic, attachment-based, and experiential therapy, including EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches, we focus on the nervous system, attachment patterns, and your relationship with your body, so change becomes something you not only understand but genuinely feel and live.

This is a space for meaningful transformation, supporting you in building resilience, strengthening self-esteem, and reconnecting with a sense of safety and ease in your body.

What becomes possible when you feel more regulated and supported

Integrative Therapy for anxiety and trauma Can Start to feel like:

  • Not replaying conversations for hours after they happen

  • Catching anxiety earlier, before it spirals

  • Feeling more present in your body instead of stuck in your head

  • Responding in relationships instead of overthinking everything afterward

  • Having moments of calm that don’t disappear right away

Meet Your NYC Anxiety Therapist

Hello, I am Olivia! 

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and deeply self-aware, yet still find themselves caught in painful patterns in relationships, overwhelmed by emotions, or with a sense that something inside won’t settle. Quite often, they’ve already tried traditional talk therapy and are looking for something different, something that goes beneath the surface rather than staying at the level of insight alone.

Often, these painful experiences are rooted in the ways we learned to adapt and survive earlier in life. Even when those adaptations once helped us, they can begin to feel limiting or distressing in the present. My work is about gently exploring these deeper layers, so that change doesn’t just happen intellectually, but is felt and integrated in a more lasting way.

In therapy for anxiety and trauma, we slow things down and gently explore these patterns together, creating space for new experiences that support healing, self-trust, and lasting change. If this feels familiar, you don’t have to navigate it alone; therapy can be a place to feel understood and begin to shift those patterns.
